Taylors & Co The Ranch Hand Taylor Tuned .45 LC Revolver Case Hardened
Taylors & Company
The Taylors & Co 1873 Single Action Stag .45 LC Revolver brings authentic Old West styling to the modern shooter. Built as a faithful replica of the iconic Colt Single Action Army, this .45 Colt wheelgun combines classic lines with practical handling—whether you're into Cowboy Action Shooting, historical reenactment, or just appreciate the timeless appeal of a working single-action revolver. The case hardened frame delivers that period-correct color and character, while the stag-imitation grips provide genuine grip texture and a traditional look that makes sense in your hand.
At 4.75 inches, the barrel strikes a balance between shootability and classic proportions—short enough to carry and handle easily, long enough to deliver .45 LC performance downrange. The revolver weighs a manageable 2.35 pounds, making it comfortable for extended shooting sessions or long days in the field. Fixed sights—a simple front blade and rear notch in the frame—keep things straightforward and reliable, with no batteries or adjustments to fuss with. This is a gun built on proven mechanical principles that have worked for well over a century.
The 1873 replica market is crowded, but Taylors & Co has earned respect for attention to detail and solid manufacturing. If you're shopping for a .45 LC single-action with authentic period aesthetics and working-gun practicality, this is worth serious consideration.

Yes. The 1873 replica design, single-action mechanism, and .45 Colt caliber are common choices in Cowboy Action Shooting competitions. Check your local match rules to confirm any specific requirements.
At 2.35 pounds and 10.25 inches overall, the 1873 is relatively compact and lightweight for its class. Comfort depends on your holster choice and carry preference, but the weight and size are manageable for extended wear.
Case hardening creates a hardened surface layer on steel with a distinctive mottled color pattern—typically blue, purple, and brown tones—that looks historically authentic and provides wear resistance. This particular model features case hardening on the frame. (Note: The supplier information mentions a nickel-plated variant exists, but this product is the case hardened version.)
